.....Now I could go into the theology of Islam and cite once again all the passages commanding acceptance and freedom of differing views and cultures - but really, the facts of Islamic history speaks for itself.
As I keep saying (which you continue to ignore), muslim-jewish coexistence has a 1400 year history: jews were not only granted religious and cultural freedoms, they thrived, and were instrumental to propelling Islamic science during the golden age.
Jews even found sanctuary with the muslims when the Spanish ethnically cleansed them during the inquisition.
Comparing this long history of coexistence with 12 years of mass internment and genocide - is a joke.

IN CONTRAST.....
This item, from my own archive [of 2009] tells 'a different narrative', to the one which is being perpetuated by gandalf.....
Quote:
Jews under muslim protection' in Morocco, 1800's
"......The nearby cemetery contains the tombs of more Jewish saints than any other cemetery in Morocco. One of the more important saints is Lalla Solica, who was killed for refusing to convert to Islam. This woman was born in Tangier in 1817. At the age of 16, she was courted by a Muslim man, but refused to marry him. To force her hand, the man went to the caid, the local government official. The man told the caid that Solica could not refuse his offer of marriage because she was no longer Jewish, having converted to Islam of her own free will. When called before the caid, she refused to acknowledge having converted. The Sultan called her to Fez, where she again denied her conversion. As a result, she was condemned to death for apostasy and killed in 1834....."

OLD, DEAD LINKn.b.
This very same type of 'behaviour' towards minorities can be seen to be happening even today, in Pakistan and in Egypt [citing just two moslem countries here].
https://www.jihadwatch.org/category/Pakistanhttps://www.jihadwatch.org/category/EgyptAbductions, forced conversions, of the female children of minorities are common,
and these abductions appear to be officially 'accepted' by local moslem authorities [within the two nations cited].

The LINK
rickgold.home.mindspring.com [above] is dead now. [I assume that it was a private site [from 2009], which made reference online, to
this incident in Morocco.]
But if you still search for
this string, today, [taken from my archive document]....
WWW search....
"This woman was born in Tangier in 1817"
....your search engine, today,
will still return the details of this Morocco incident, in the hit return.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN.........your search engine, today,
will still return the details of this Morocco incident, in the hit return.
BUT, i found, that when i clicked [any of] the search engine hits, today, in 2020, all references to the original Morocco incident [
on the LINKED pages] have now 'disappeared'.
There may still be references to this Morocco incident, somewhere online, but i find, quite often,
that a reference to historic nefarious practices of moslems, which i accessed 1 or 2 years ago, have seemed to have inexplicably 'disappeared' when i click the [old] link 'today'.
